Dreams

I flip through the traveling books I got from the library last weekend

I got it for Africa and Egypt

As I read about the places, it makes me want to travel more and more

I can't

Why not?

I don't have the money

My parents also would never let me go to the places I'd like to go to unless I was an adult

My dream is to travel

Maybe it'll come true

Maybe it won't

I can't tell

I'm only 12 turning 13 in June

 

The other day I was writing an essay for an application

The application was for science camp, which has major college credit in it

The essay subject was what I'd do after high school

The directions asked if I'd wanted to travel or go to college after

I said both

I do wanna go to college to get a career, but I do wanna travel

I've never been out of my state except for one town in Oregon and one town in Nevada

 

Dreams can come true

You see my writing

You see my love for tavelling in this poem (even though I haven't really travelled any where)

I used to dream that I'd be a singer when I was little

Now I don't

Dreams can change

I think this one won't

 

When you're young, you dream

When you're older, hopefully your dream has come true

You have only one life (unless you believe in reincarnation*)

If you do believe in reincarnation*, then maybe one full life that you'll remember now

Live your life to the fullest
